Description

“To market, to market, to buy a fat pig. Home again, home again, jiggety-jig.” While we won’t have any “fat pigs” at this month’s Tavern Talks, we will have plenty of artisans you would have found if you visited any marketplace in the 18th century. The marketplace was essential to Colonists stocking up on goods or foods they were not able to make themselves. For this month, the tavern will be filled with area artisans who still make 18th century inspired crafts, including: Jennifer Higgins, Chadds Ford Canvas (floorcloths)Scott Gold, Brandywine Bowls George Ambrose, Colonial peddler Elaine Brooks, weaving demonstrations Janice Smith, Historic Delights JewelryOlde Liberty Goods Katee Boyle, Scarlett ForgeBlacksmithingSara Russell, paper cutting demonstrations And more!

Tavern Talks is a monthly experience (not a lecture!) aimed exclusively for adults 21 and older that focuses on unexplored aspects of early American history and culture. Guests will experience history with hands-on activities, food and drink tastings, demonstrations, and more. Tavern Talks takes place at the Chadds Ford Historical Society’s Barns Brinton House, an historic 1714 tavern, located next to the Chaddsford Winery at 630 Baltimore Pike. Admission is $20 for non-members and $15 for members. Tickets must be purchased in advance over the phone, in person or online as space is limited. All attendees must be 21 and older.
